The people who visit Aiken during the next six mouths will form their Impressions of the place and the citi sens to a great degree by the appear ance of the streets and private prem Ises. Aiken is ordinarily a town of unusually attractive appearance,— much superior to the average interior town of the Routh. As a rale South ern towns are not attractive in ap pearance. The streets are seldom well kept, and the buildings and fencing on private property are often more or less shabby. Whether it is that the people are indifferent, or the climate lias anything to do in the matter, the fact remains that few towns in the South present the neat and clean ap pearance that they should. Aiken has usually been kept ia bet ter condition than any other interior town that we know of in this State, but much more can yet be done. Many of our streets, particularly those along the outskirts of the town, need some attention, and the dry grass and dying weeds that now of fend tiie eye should be removed at once. The sidewalks should be clean ed off so that pedestrians may be able to enjoy their walks without frequent ly having to kick damp grass at every step. Our private citizens may do much in bracing or repairing any old fencing that may now be offensive to the eye, and aid the town authorities in keeping the sidewalks clean. The appearance of the streets and fencing may be considered a small matter by some persons, but there is no doubt that it is very important in the im pression made on visitors. Information for Visitors to the Kxp >- sltfon. The round trip ticket from Aiken to Augusta is 25 cents, and the Geor gia railroad has perfected arrange ments for transporting the crowds from the city to the grounds. Trains run every fifteen minutes both ways. Telegraph stations at each end ol the line start the trains simultaneously from the city depot and the Exposi tion grounds. Tiie trains starts from the Exposition depot on Fenwick street, between 7th and 8th streets, and carry passengers direotly to the Exposition building. The round trip fare, together with admission to tiie Exposition, will be 75 cents, children under 12 years of age 50 cents. The stre.-t car lines are also avaiia- hie. They do not run to the grounds, hut the Druid park Hue goes in three hundred yards and the Rand Hills line within four minutes walk. The fare is five ceuts from the street car atablaa over either line, and five cents from any part of the city to the stables, or ten cents from any part of the city to the grounds. _ The hacks also car IXJCAL. BKEVITIES. We regret to learn that Mr. C. H. Ludekcns, Jr., lies dangerously ill. Mrs. Robert l*. Smith, of Charleston, is iu Aiken, on a visit to Mrs. A. P. Ford. Mrs. W. W. Williamson, formerly Miss Louisa Jones, of Aiken, is in town for a visit of a few weeks. It is reported that tiie colored can didate for Congress, S. E. Smith, who wasdefeated overwhelmingly, intends to contest tiie election of Hon. G. D. Tillman. • Tiie Langley Cotton Mill has sus pended work for a week, or two, while a new pair of wheels is being put in, in piece of tiie old ones, which have been turning since 1870. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Mrs. Legare itas let her house ou the West side of Laurens St., next north of the Lyceum Hall, and it will be opened as a boarding house during the season. The long established Carpet Store of Jas. G. Ilailie & Son, of Augusta, deserves the patronage of our people. This firm oner a large and varied stock at very reasonable prices. Messrs. C. J. Rooney & Co. of Au- justa offer to the citizens of Aiken loots, shoes Ac. at reasonable prices. This good house is so well known that a recommendation is almost un necessary. Mr. E. D. Smithe Jr., of Augusta, carries one of the largest and most varied retail stocks of crockery, glass ware &e. in the South, and a visit to to Ids place will well repay any of the dtizensof Aiken, who may need what he is glad to supply. In another column may he seen a cut of the new’ cylinder printing press that we have recently purchased of the Campbell Printing Press Compa ny, ot New York. With a new press and a well equipped office, it is our ntentiou to make The Recorder one of the most attractive of the country weeklies. We ask attention to the advertise ment of the Southern Churchman in another column. This excellent pa per while denominational iu charac- er, is so liberal that it does not offend any who are not Episcopalians by articles admitted into its columns, t always contains a large amount of nteresting and instructive reading matter. .

Cochran, at Cowden, was burned on Monday, the 9th inst., and totally destroyed, he cause of the fire is unknown. cents for «*oli person to or from i to any part of the city. The entrance to the grounds Is through the main building, at the centre in front. Tickets can he ob tained at the door, and as it will be difficult to make change, parties are requested to provide themselves with the exact change before leaving the city. Military Day at the Exposition. Yesterday was miliitary day in Au- f usta, and tiie first great day of the Exposition. The parade, the sham battle were a pronounced success. About 3000 soldiers were present, and made their movements under tiie command of Gov. Humpton. He and Genl. Stovall, and Governor Gor don with their staffs made a most im posing appearance. Tiie Palmetto Rifles of Aiken went over with thirty two officers and men, and took part in the mauoeuvers with much credit. An unfortunate accident happened however during the progress of the battle to an artillerist. A sergeant in the U. S. Army, serving us a volun teer on one of tiie guns of tiie Chat ham artillery, neglected to use his sponge after a discharge, and upon another charge being put into tiie gun a premature explosion occurred, which shattered Ids hand and arm. He was immediately taken off the ground, and given every attention. With the exception of this accident, the military display was most suc cessful . The crowd at the exposition yes terday exceeded by far that ol any previous day; and at the Aiken sta tion alone 540 exposition tickets were sold. Election Fracas. Delegates to the Baptist Association. The following delegates have been appointed to attend the general asso ciation to be held in Orangeburg ou the 29th inst. From the Aiken BapMst Church, Messrs. H. 6. Rurckhalter, D. W. Reigler and J. R. Mack, and from the Edisto Association in part Messrs. J. C. Browne, Lueius Cuthbert and C. K. Henderson. Aiken County Teachers Association. The first meeting of the Aiken County Teachers Association will be held at GranitevilJe on Saturday, Nov. 24, at 10 o’clock A. M. It is hoped that Hon. Jas. H. Rice, State Superintendant of Education, Prof. J. Clink, scales of Columbia Female n. and Every white teacher of Aiken Coun ty hteanuMtly requested and expected to be piesent and. help to ffiake the meeting a success. A pleasant and profitable time is promised everyone who attenis. All are cordially invited. Fruank H. Curtiss, Pres. Aiken Co. Teacher’s Association. The only difficulty that we have heard of in Aiken County occurred at Lowetown Wells Precinct, in Sleepy Hollow Township, where, as the polls were tieiug closed, some dar kies, who were making themselves numerous around there, got to cursing a white man. A fight ensued and tiie darkies pulled their guns and opened fire. Tiie first shot took effect in tiie knee of Willie Turner, who was only a by-staiider and not iu the row. Sev eral shots were fired on both sides, but no other damage was done. The dar kies ran off and no arrests have been made. Mr. Turner’s wound is not considered serious. At all other places heard from tiie best of order pre vailed. Change of Schedule. We beg to direct special attention to the change in the schedule of the South Carolina Railway, published in our advertising column. The Augusta Accommodation Train will make three trips both ways dai ly hereafter;and ou Monday next the Yorkvllle Express will be put on be tween Yorkville and Augusta, via Branchville, which will give Aiken people six trains daily, to and from Augusta. Christinas Tree. The Sunday School children of St. Thaddetts Church will meet iu the Parish Hall to-morrow afternoon at four o’clock, to practice the carols for the exercises on Christmas Eye, con nected with the annual tree. The Superintendent of the Sunday School particularly requests that all the chil dren of the congregation will attend. Frost. For the past two mornings, early risers have seen an abundance of white frost about the town. The weather la pleasantly cold, and a grateful change from the unseasonable warmth that we have had recently. The Farmers’ Institute. Editors Aiken Recorder: Now that it has been finally deci ded that Aiken County is to have a Farmers’ Institute, a short account of the mannerof conducting these meet ings and the character of .their pro ceedings may be of interest to some of your readers. These Institutes are intended to be gatherings of practical farmers, meet ing to compare notes and to learn from tiie experience of others. It has often been charged that agricultural editors and writers are men who have beautiful theories of country life, but no practical experience. This is not true of tiie Institutes as they have been conducted during tiie last two or three years. Their discussions have been eminently practical, and the most popular speakers have been those farmers who have attained the greatest success in some branch of farming Tills is especially the case with the speakers sdected for the Ai- keu Institute. In their several lines of farm work each is an authority, and has proven the correctness of his theories in regard to farming in a con vincing manner. Who would not spare a day,at a time when work is not pressing, in order to have the oppor tunity of listening to such men? Still more practical is the itiaiiner of conducting these Institutes. Not only are there carefully prepared es says by men well able to instruct, but there is also an opportunity for ques tions from anyone desiring further in formation, and for rematks and criti cisms from tiiose who may differ with the principal speakers ou any point. As such a rich bill of fare lias been arranged for tiie Aiken meeting, it has been found necessary to limit the discusfion of each subject to one hour, —one-half of which will be occupied by the essayist, and then anyone present will be allowed to discuss the subject for five minutes. If all the speakers availing themselves of this privilege will aim to be concise in their statements, a great deal can be condensed into the thirty minutes of general discussion. D. The Penitentiary. From the report of the News and Courier, tiie State Penitentiary is a paying institution. A balance of its receipts and expenses for the past year shows a clear profit of nearly thirty-five hundred dollars. For the past eight years it has given the State a profit which foots up the very respectable sum of $297,000 over all expenses, including all appropria tions made to it and $25,000 advanced it last year; but all of this money, ex cept $40,000 paid into the State Treas ury and $1,250 in work on the State House, bus been expended in impro ving and enlarging the penitiary, in work on the Columbia canal, in tiie the purchase of farm lands on which to employ the convicts, buying stock and implements, and in farm improvements. According to these figures, it Is es timated that this institution, since such elaborate improvements have been made, ought in future to -pay into the State Treasury from $25,000 to $35,000 per annum, which should go to the reduction ot taxation. It is to be hoped that the future will show sqme such solid return, and then our taxpayers will begin to ap preciate R. CoLUMill's, Ga., Nov.7.—A special from Beuna Vista says: A train on the Savannah and Western Road, containing one hundred and twenty- five passengers bound for the Macou Fair, was wrecked near Ellayille thi» morning, ami-five persons were killed Instantly, and a dozen others injured. Santa Fe, Nov. 8.—Reports from Valencia county says there was troa- ble between the Republican and Dem ocratic judges of election at San Raf ael Tuesday, over an attempt by tbe former to secure the poll books. T. Provencher, one of the judges ami au old citizen, was shot through the heart and instantly killed by the at tacking party. The murderer escaped to tiie mountains. Dublin, Ga., Nov. 6.—The Marshal of this town, N. K. Watson, was bru tally murdered here Sunday night at 7 o’clock by Marshall Searhoro. Both men were white. Marshal Watson's throat was cut. Scarboro had been drinking for several days, and whisky was tiie cause of tiie murder. Sear- bolo was a farmer and lived four miles from town. Marshal Watson was re spected and well liked by the citizens of this county. The murderer es caped. Atchison, Kansas, November 9.— The most phenomenal snow storm that t yer occurred in Northern Kan sas began this niorning and has con tinued furiously all day. Trains are all delayed and telegraph wires are prostrated in all directions, with the exception of one line in Kansas City. In Atchison over 200 telephone lines are broken and so tangled up with electric wires that the electric works have been suspended to prevent ac cidents. The snow storm is tiie heaviest sijice 1378. The extent of damage cannot be ascertained, owing to the suspension ot telegraphic com munication. Chicago, Nov. 8.—A dispatch from Louisville regarding the shooting af fray at Livingston, Ky., election day says: Five men were killed and an other mortally wounded. In a polit ical discussion Champion Mullens and John Martin pulled their revolv ers and commenced firing at each other. The former was a prominent Republican, and the latter a govern ment official. The friends of eash took up the quarrel, and twenty pis tols were pulled, and a fusilade of shots fired. The desperate men fought for several squares. The fight continued for fifteen minutes, when, for want of amunition the sanguinary affair ceased. It was then found that Samuel Ward, a member of the Ken tucky Legislature; John Clifford, agent ot the Louisville and Nashville railroad; John Martin, government storekeeper; Frank Stewart, an em ploye of the Kentucky Central rail road, and C. Mullens, were killed, and J. Sambrook. a merchant, badly wounded. The phosphate miners at Hertz’s washer, near Jacksonboro 8. C. have been in a mutiny for several days past, and a serious riot has been threat ened. There are 255 Italians engaged in the mine 3 , and they are regarded as the worst crowd that has ever been brought to this section of the country. They are fresh from the east, and are unable to speak English at all. There are besides these Italians about 150 negroes at the mines. The Italians grew dissatisfied with some arrangements about the place and mutinied. They were led by a few desperate fellow’s of Anarchistic tendencies. They made an assault on the formen and several of them were severly beaten and might have been killed had not Mr. Miles, one of the superintendents, appeared with a rifle. The crowd scattered imme diately, but in the rush-Mr. Miles was struck by a shovel and the rifle dis charged, its couteiUs entering his font and wounding him severely. The rioters then began to bre»,k ti LIST 0F_VISIT0BS. Highland Park Hotel.—Ca Oscar Coles, Dr.-O. B. iiause. Dr. F. McGahan, wife and child, Aike Dr. A. B, Whitney. New York; M£il J. C.

Washington, Nov. 10.—The de partment of agriculture reports a good season for cotton picking during Oc tober in the Southwest, and only moderately favorable weather on the Atlantic coast states. The wet weath er of September proved yery injurious to the quality, prostrating plants and rotting bolls, causing blight and shedding, and injuring the prospects of the top crop. There is much stain ed fibre, and the quality is much poor er than that of the previous year. The picking was late commencing, but there has as yet been no killing frost, rendering possible partial com- pensatiou as to the length of the sea son. Indications of the yield per acre average the same as last year at this time, though the previous condition of the plant scarcely warrants the ex pectation of so much late growth and harvest outcome in November and December. The states of the Missis sippi report a slightly larger yield than last year, while Georgia, Alaba ma and Tennessee indicate a slight- reduction. Other states indicate near ly the same expectation at this date. Returns of the yield of corn made to the department of agriculture, in dicate a yield per acre quite as large as that of 1835, and larger than any oilier crop since 1880. The aggregate grown on a larger area will exceed that of any previous American pro duct, being very close to 2,000,000.000 bushels, or about thirty-two bushels per capita. The corn -surplus states’ average yield is as follows: Ohio, 35.2 bushels; Indiana, 35; Illinois, 30.2; Iowa, 37; Missouri, 31; Kansas, 27; Nebraska, 36. These seven states produce 64 per cent of the crop aggre gate. The general average will fall somewhat under 27 bushels. There is a good supply of maize in nearly all parts of the South, so that comparatively little will be required from the West. The yields of the At lantic states are moderate; seriously reduced by frost in the Norheru bor der. __ Electric Bugs. About a week ago, Mr. J. McLaugh lin, in Savannah was biilen on the baud by one of the large bugs that are attracted by the electric lights and ever since that time he has suffered with a very sore hand. Tiie bug was a yery large grey one, measuring 2 inches in length. It flew in through an open window, near which Mr. Mc Laughlin sat, and striking the wall, fell on the floor. He picked it up and started to throw* it out, when it began to perforate his fingers with its claws. Mr. McLaughlin said the sensation resembled that ol several fish-hooks being torn through the flesh. Imme diately his hand began to swell, and his arm and face and head were broken out in small pimples witliiu twenty- four hours and extremely painful. The bugs were never seen iu tills sec tion until after the use of the electric lights, and where they come from is a mystery. Ordinary artificial lights do not attract them, but wherever electric are used they may be found after nightfall in large nutubers. »*F" Beautiful sattines &t lOct just received at the Aut Park Ave. Riding bridles from 50cts. up if Augusta Store.
